OPTION 1.

The premise behind this is to cut operational expenditures both in operation and salaries. Students would be bused or transported back to their respective campuses at lunch where normal activities would take place in the afternoon. Each school would stay in tact for the 2005-06 school year. The only change would be as stated above. There will be adjustments in teaching responsibilities and possible reassignment of classified staff.

OPTION 2.

All grades 07-12 would be assigned to the Clinton Campus. Staff and students would be housed on the Clinton Campus all day. All activities would be integrated into the Clinton System.

Dr. Ben Mays asked the superintendent to give the Board more information concerning the school’s finances.

Mr. Billy Tomlinson motioned to follow the recommendation of the superintendent to go with Option 1. The motion died due to a lack of a second.
